colonoscopes
Internal colon viewers
Colonoscopes are the flexible, tube-shaped instruments used to examine the interior of the colon.
A tiny camera at the tip transmits images to a monitor, allowing physicians to inspect the bowel lining for polyps, inflammation, or signs of cancer.
The plural appears in medical contexts discussing equipment: The clinic purchased new colonoscopes last year.
